I remember last gen a lot of people said they chose the 360, because most multi platform games performed better on it.

I suppose people are doing that again now.


In the UK? Nonsense. If that was the case the original Xbox would've been top dog here and it was one of the only markets outside of Japan where it did worse than the Gamecube. Sounds more like Plan C damage control.

The UK market are very pricepoint-fickle. The fact that it took > 5 years for SCEUK to drop the PS3 below the £200 sweet spot (and even then I think that might have only been the 12GB model) is horrendously laughable.

congratz PS4

Things are looking bright for Sony in the UK, to hit that milestone so quickly with no significant 1st party offerings and the "big" Gen 8 games also being available on Gen 7.

When full time Gen 8 support kicks off, we should see some brilliant numbers.

Congrats Sony! I wonder when xb1 will reach 1m in the UK?

Well.

"Destiny launches at an important time for both the PS4 and Xbox One. In January 2014 Gara revealed that the sales ratio of PS4 to Xbox One in the UK was 1.5:1, and eight months later this remains the case. That means that if the PS4 has sold 1m units, then the Xbox One has shifted 666,666."

That means ~8k per week in 2014...  so adding a holiday boost ~30 weeks to reach 1 million... mid 2015.

The number of the beast :P.

Can I ask what you would say is a significant 1st Party game from Sony?



Hmm, pie.

Unlike MS said, many XB360 users weren't so happy with their console, seeing they are migrating to PS4 even faster than the PS3 users.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

It used to be only our cars, now our consoles! Nobody buys American anymore huh?

I feel XBOne will make a comeback though. Wait until it becomes more readily available across the world...

Do you not consider Apple to be American then?

There's always an exception to everything... :P

Plus this is sort of a trick question. EVERYTHING inside an Apple product gets made in China. It's almost like asking if a Chinese person makes pancakes, is it considered Chinese food?

Oh please! The USA exports more products and services than the GDP of the vast majority of countries in the world. Stop with the poor USA routine.

Also can't the same be said about Xb one, everything inside Xbone is made somewhere else?
